KERRY Library invites all children throughout the county to join in the adventure and discover the fun and pleasure of reading over the summer by taking part in the Summer Stars Reading Challenge.
Summer Stars is non-competitive and every child who reads even one book or eBook is regarded as having completed the programme – and it’s all completely free!
From Saturday, June 13th, children are invited to visit their local Kerry library and collect a Summer Stars Reading Challenge card to track their reading.

Children are welcome to join Summer Stars at any point over the summer and when they complete the challenge, they will receive a medal and a certificate of achievement.
Kerry Library stocks a vast range of children’s books suitable for all ages and interests. In addition, BorrowBox, the e-Book / e-Audiobook / eMagazine service, offers a large selection of titles for children.
A Summer Stars collection is available on BorrowBox. Kerry libraries are fully stocked with a vast array of books, and library staff are available to provide recommendations, helping young readers discover exciting new gems and authors.
During the Summer Stars Reading Challenge libraries will be hosting nature workshops and displays together with the Killarney National Park Education Centre, ‘Music for All’ workshops with Music Generation, biodiversity workshops with the Kerry Biosphere Officer and events with Kerry County Museum.
Regular storytime, sensory sessions and other events will also take place throughout the summer.
Visit your local library during July and August to be in with a chance to win a prize! Keep an eye on Kerry Library social media and in your local library to take part.
